About Summerfest

Welcome to Summerfest 2018!

June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2018 are the dates for this year’s “Route 66” Summerfest in Rolla, Missouri. This is the 24th year for this event. It was originally started to promote Downtown Rolla but has evolved into an area wide celebration for all ages to promote Old Route 66 and the beginning of summer.

Friday night we kick off Summerfest with a cruise down Route 66 from St. James to Rolla and the first round of the tennis tournament. The activities begin in the festival lot in Downtown Rolla with the Miss “Route 66” pageant, Drummers Competition and Movie Under the Stars. This year’s movie is Home.

Saturday starts bright and earl at 8 am with the Car Show lining up on Pine Street in Downtown Rolla. The Arts & Crafts booths open at 9am along with the food vendors, kids activities and skateboard park, the famous “burnout contest” at 6pm and The Ricky G Band at 8pm. There are many other events all throughout the day.

Sunday concludes Summerfest the finale of the Tennis Tournament.

This is just a preview of some of the events. Check out the schedule of events for a full listing.
